It seems Kante and Fabregas are Chelseas only two for midfielders for the opening few games as Bakayoko is out injured, so he should play, he's generally an assist machine in past seasons and he's only £7m, but now you've mentioned Willian and that's another spanner in the works
I'll definitely go for one or the other though.It's easily doable, I have Lacazette, Lukaku, Alli, Eriksen, Bernado Silva, Sane and Baines in my side at present
I think coutinho will chip in though

I only considered Willian as I was writing that post! It works quite nicely because most likely going to use a wild card around mid September and i'm a big fan of Hazard so I will swap him for WillianGood point. Might try it but do want to have an Arsenal player in there and from the ones affordable, Lacazette and Ozil are the sure starters... think I'll need to tinker some more.
Wouldnt have them both at the same time buddy. Big risk. Maybe replace one with a Zaha or someone like that? Hedge your bets a bit.
Good short term option but he'll lose his place once Bakayoko is fit again
It's because it's in the general forum which even newbie's with permission to post can't view (it's a dark place). I'll PM you the code.
Could you do the same for me?
If it was a shout out between Chadli, Ritchie and Matt Phillips, who would you rather go for?
The problem I have is picking two strikers who would consistently start and be in amongst the goals.

Nope he's there. Right at the top of their midfielders list.
But that is the trouble with signing players who have been just promoted.
Indeed. The only players from promoted teams I have a passing interest in at the minute are Ince, Ritchie and Gayle. Gayle and Ritchie have both flopped in the PL before and Ince is in a team surely destined for regular thrashings on the road to relegation.
Gayle is a nailed on starter, according to me at least, unless something changes in the coming few days.The problem I have is picking two strikers who would consistently start and be in amongst the goals.
And the budget I have is around 13.5 M - so currently sticking with Gayle and Rodriguez. (until I change my mind yet again
Problem is that they play Arsenal, City, United and Spurs in the first 9 GWs.
Chicharito, Pogba and Willian are the only weaknesses I see right now. We don't know whether chicharito would be starting games early in the season or whether he would be leading the attack. Willian can be a poor pick for that value if Chelsea don't hit the ground running.
He's 7! Can't get much better value than that for someone starting for the reigning champions.
Will he even start though, that would be my only worry.
